Taoist priest, let’s become immortals together!

"then you?"

"Don't worry. Even though I can't move you, the monk, this Buddha body belongs to the mortal world. There are few people in the whole Daheng who can move me. As long as I can make further progress in the Heart Sutra of Supreme Goodness, perhaps I will soon catch up with you, the donor."

Monk Zhishan said in a free and easy manner.

"Ahem...um, I want to ask, where are we?" Chen Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after listening to Monk Zhishan's carefree words. Then he was stunned and suddenly remembered that it had been more than half a month and he didn't even know where this place was.

Monk Zhishan was startled: "Oh, you don't know?"

Chen Yuan found a set of ordinary clothes in a corner of the temple and put them on to hide the abnormality on his body. He then smiled bitterly and said, "I fought with the Five Evil Immortals in Licheng, and then I was unconscious and brought here by him. I really don't know."

"Leaving the city?"

Monk Zhishan didn’t know.

"The distance between the city and this place...seems very far."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

"We are located deep within the volcanic tract, which is home to countless peaks, especially dozens of active volcanoes. It is extremely dangerous, hence the name Volcanic tract."

Volcano Road!

Chen Yuan finally knew where he was.

Xunyang City and Licheng are both in Longnan Road. No wonder Monk Zhishan didn’t know about it. It’s really that the entire Daheng... is too big.

"Then what about Long Nandao..."

"So you're from Longnan Road. I once visited the Heart Sect, and I sent the people of Wudu Town there too." Monk Zhishan continued in a deep voice, "Alas, I don't know if the people of Wudu Town are safe. I'm really worried."

"Oh, the Volcano Road is quite far away from the Longnan Road. Even if you cultivate to the true Red Dust Immortal Realm, it will probably take you half a month of continuous work day and night to reach it."

Chen Yuan's expression turned stern.

It’s far enough.

Of course, he was in no hurry to go back.

I went to Longnan Dao originally to ask the Heart Sect for help in separating Senior Brother Wuchen and Taoist Wuwei, but now the life and death of the two souls are uncertain, so I should find the Five Evil Immortals first.

just now.

Just know the approximate location.

"Okay, Master, do you know where the nearest Wushan Temple is?" Chen Yuan went straight to the point.

"Fire City."

"understood."

He continued to inquire about the location of Wushan Temple in other cities, and then Chen Yuan bid farewell to Monk Zhishan and embarked on a journey to hunt down the Five Evil Immortals, destroy Wushan Temple, and seize the evil thoughts.

There is a long way to go.

……

Outside the Fire City, heat waves were rolling.

There are many mountains, and people are walking between them with hunched backs. A huge and wide canal is being dug. The scorching sun is shining down, and the active volcano hundreds of miles away is spewing out hot magma.

Mountain peaks with few trees.

The entire earth was almost dry.

In order to survive, the people had no choice but to dig canals to connect to the volcanic road thousands of miles away, to bring river water to the villages and towns in the volcanic road, to irrigate the crops, so that they could have food to eat in this scorching land.

The people of Huoshan Road live a hard life.

But they don't bow to the environment.

"Everyone, work hard. Once the canal is opened, we won't have to worry about water supply in Huoshan Road anymore!" The leading craftsmen stood on both sides of the canal, shouting loudly to encourage the people.

The people screamed in unison.

Among the mountains, the people worked harder and harder.

"Alas, we can't dig the canal this year, but we still need to water the crops. Thankfully, the volcano didn't erupt this year, and it rained a bit, and thanks to the blessing of Gozenji Temple, we're finally having a good harvest this year."

The man, with his sleeves and trouser legs rolled up and his body covered in yellow soil, held a shovel and looked at the fields on both sides of the canal, and couldn't help but smile with relief.

People,

Finally I have an idea.

The enthusiasm for digging the canal became greater and greater.

very nice.

His efforts over the years were worth it.

"Master, please take a rest and drink some water." The old man beside him looked at his master with heartache. The hand holding the pen was covered with calluses. He was a dignified prefect who was in charge of an entire city, but he was here digging canals with the people. It was really a once-in-a-century opportunity.

"it is good."

The prefect sat on the ground, picked up the coarse tea bowl and drank it in big gulps, while at the same time he did not forget to ask everyone around him to sit down and have a rest.

"Master, the crops are growing well this year. We're sure to have a bumper harvest!" The old servant who was pouring water squatted down, took out a pipe from his bosom, put some tobacco foam in it, lit it with a tinder, and took a deep puff. "You've been here for eleven years, and the canal is almost dug through. Finally, this day is almost here."

He was very emotional.

I think his master has worked hard for more than ten years.

The purpose is to help the people of Huoshan Road.

Seeing that it was almost done, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

The people looked at the magistrate and admired him from the bottom of their hearts. In their entire lives, they had never seen a magistrate work in the fields with the people, and he could also do the work of the yamen well. It was simply unheard of.

Speaking of this great master.

No one didn't give a thumbs up.

admire!

hum~

"Hmm?" The prefect was looking at the canals and crops with satisfaction. Suddenly, he heard the sound of an insect chirping in his ears. He couldn't help but look over and saw an insect. Before he could react, the buzzing sound of insects came from all directions, vibrating his eardrums.

"locust!"

The prefect shouted in fear.

But when the people who were digging in the ditches stood up and looked at the shouting prefect, the originally scorching sun suddenly became pitch black, dense locusts swarmed in from the mountains, and a huge buzzing sound echoed in the valley. Everyone was terrified.

Locust plague!

The prefect was unsteady on his feet, and the old servant hurried to support him. He swallowed hard and said word by word, "Master... the locust plague is coming! It's a disaster! It's over... it's all over!"

The prefect's face turned pale. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly shouted at the top of his voice: "Kill the locusts! Protect the crops!"

The people rushed to the fields frantically.

But it's too late.

When locusts pass through, no grass will grow!

In just a moment, a swarm of locusts swept across the farmland between the mountains. Each locust ate the crops and spread across. The entire farmland was bare, and not a single grain of food was left!

Natural disasters…

coming!

The prefect collapsed on the ground, with locusts buzzing in his ears and quickly flying past. The two sides of the valley, which were originally full of crops, had already become a terrible sight. The people who rushed towards the locusts were bitten by them, and their bodies were covered with scars. They collapsed in the field, looking blankly at the sky.

"It's gone... all gone!"

"My food! It's all gone!"

"Get up quickly! There are crops in other places! We must not let the locusts continue to wreak havoc!" The prefect forced himself to stand up. His voice was hoarse, but he still shouted and ordered the people.

The people got up in a panic.

Running wildly towards another mountain.

A locust plague...

The disaster caused,

just began.

The prefect stared at the locusts flying away, feeling uneasy...
